Russia

For all its weaknesses, Russia remains a major global force, demanding rigorous and clear-minded analysis.

Our research covers Russia’s domestic trials and tribulations, as well as its idiosyncratic foreign policy. 

Whatever one’s attitude to contemporary Russian politics, few deny the world’s largest country (possessing 47% of the world’s total nuclear arsenal) merits expert attention.


The Chatham House Russia and Eurasia Programme conducts research and analysis with a granularity and objectivity from which broader trends can be discerned both in Russia’s internal governance and in its quest for greater influence on the world stage.
